Traded my DRZ for it today. 2002 6th gen with almost 21k on it. It's been dropped and has some fairly minor scuffing on the right side but overall it's in good condition. It's a huge difference from the DRZ, I loves it. The battery was low when I got it, so it's on the trickle for the night. After running it for around 30 minutes though it charged without an issue and was starting on it's own.

Yeah, they did the same thing to me. Shameless, just shameless.

Congrats on your new sled. 21K on the clock is about right IMO. Mine had less than 7400 when I bought it 2 1/2 years ago, and all of the issues I have had with it stemmed from it having not been ridden often enough before I bought it. Hopefully you'll be spared the dried out and leaking fuel pressure regulator just recently replaced on mine.

Ponies ate my Bagel-
Congrats on buying a fine motorbike. I don't know how you will deal with the difference to the DRZ. But suck it up, let the sheer greatness of the VFR envelop you.

I got it for 2 up touring, trips to monterey and LA occasionally. My last big bike was an R1 so it shouldn't be to difficult to adjust. So far I really like it. The tank is really wide and I find it's a big uncomfortable to straddle it, any tips on this? (I know, everyone probably figured I had a "Wide stance"!) I love Honda's in general so it was a no brainer, I think it will be a fantastic ride.

Eye-humped a NOS 2010 vfr12 today. Having impure thoughts about how to get this unsanctioned purchase past my wifeypoo/CFO.

Many on this thread will tell you they aren't 'real' VFRs. Whatever you want to call them, I'm telling you, they're sweet. I've been scratching together 40 degree rides on this since January. 600 miles so far - cant wait til it warms up.

How do you like this BEAUTY? Did you have a previous gen. to compare it to?
